This thread is shinier than my standard isacord embroidery thread. It sews well and I have had no issues with shredding or breaking thread. It is less costly than isacord although not as many colors to choose from.
I put the gnomes on a mug rug for an exchange gift. It took a bit of fiddling to get it right but looked really good once stitched out. I buy a lot of oh my crafty designs and have yet to be disappointed.
I find Crafty machine embroidery items work very good. Their website is always adding new items, and they also offer a lot of specials. This design was perfect for fall!
